Triptych Ending Explained
A forensics agent meets a dying woman named Aleida Trujano who inexplicably knows her name — Rebecca and looks just like her. Their encounter unleashes a storm of unknowns. Both of them even share the same birthday as they turn 33 on the day of their encounter. Rebecca tries to gather more information about her and secretly gets the blood sample from the hospital.
While Rebecca is an alcoholic, who has been 3 months sober and only has a mother, as her dad passed away when she was young. She has an affair with her married colleague and detective Humberto Solano who has been her reason for going the alcohol route, as he decided not to get a divorce from his wife after living with Rebecca for 3-4 months.
When Becca first asks her mom about having any other siblings, she refuses to tell anything and even denies adopting her. But the DNA results force Becca’s mom to come clean about illegally adopting her from a social worker. Meanwhile, Becca tries to find out about Aleida by trespassing at her husband Eugenio’s home and finds puzzling photographs which make her visions become more vivid than ever.
However, due to Eugenio’s influence, the identity of Aleida gets changed to another person and the existence of Aleida and her death remains a secret. With the help of the visions she has been getting, Becca tries to find her third sister Tamara who is a performer in a club. When they meet, Tamara always seems to know more than she shares. As she was seen at Aleida’s memorial place and even revealed to get a call from her on the day of the shooting.
Humberto also pledges to help Becca, while Eugenio’s string of lies continues at the company, where his colleagues ask him about his wife’s whereabouts. The company is about to be taken over by someone else and to keep it under his control, he needs to transfer his wife’s stocks under his name. To execute it, he locates Tamara and offers her money, in exchange for acting like her wife and president of the company.
The fake Aleida cedes control over her company to Eugenio. There Becca freaks out at seeing Aleida alive and makes a small scene, witnessing that, Eugenio abducts her to the house and explains everything. Defensive at first, Tamara explains that she can get to know more about Aleida this way. Simultaneously Becca also meets with Dr Bátiz, who helps in finding the social worker who gave her away.
The social worker tells them that they were birthed by a teenager who couldn’t keep them and the doctor had other experimental plans for them, thus she ran away with them and that’s how they ended up at different places. After getting some clarity, Becca decides to tell her mom about it, by inviting Tamara and Aleida’s mother Pilar home.
While looking at pictures from childhood, they realise similarities like having dated a psychologist each and how they were tested by doctors as a kid and even putting fire to different things at the same time, on the same day. Guided by more vision, Becca asks Pilar to give her access to the hospital’s basement where she finds out about the doctor who did experiments on them and there could be a Nazi connection.
Overwhelmed by all the information, Becca spills it all to Dr Bátiz and gets very drunk, whose effects can be felt by Tamara as well. At the same time, some colleagues visit Eugenio’s home and Tamara’s intoxicated antics ruin his set-out plans. He decides to send Tamara away and pretend that Aleida left him in front of his colleagues.
On the other hand, Becca wakes up hungover in a prison cell and gets a call from the social worker to visit her. But instead, she finds her dead and the killer turns out to be the biker who had been following them. The biker is actually Mila, Dr Bátiz assistant, with Beatriz dead and Tamara missing, Becca suspects Eugenio is now after her and decides to entrust her mother’s safety to Dr Bátiz.
She surprisingly gets a call from Tamara soon, who reveals how she escaped from the back of the car when she was been sent away. Humberto takes the sisters to the safe house but it turns out to be Dr Bátiz house and the place where they were kept as a child. Ultimately she is the person behind it all and imprisons them into glass cells.
Who is their Mother?
Dr Julia Bátiz is revealed to be their birth mother who created them through IVF, so essentially they are test tube babies. She was the assistant of the doctor who did the experiment on the triplet brothers but refused to do it further. While Julia wanted to pursue it, she came to Mexico and started working with Eugenio’s father and hatched the experiment on the side.
Even Humberto worked for him and she had planted people around them who could monitor their activities regularly. And to make sure they had similar experiences, she even killed their fathers when one lost theirs. Another big revelation was that Aleida was alive and together they will be going for the next phase of the experiment.
But Aleida somehow escapes her room and causes a blackout in the house. Taking advantage of it, Rebecca and Tamara escape from the cells and make their way out with Aleida. On the way, they come across Eugenio, who had come looking for them when Tamara disappeared. He had asked Humberto’s help but he took him offroad – Eugenio escaped while Humberto seemed to die in the accident.
At last, police were seen arresting everyone at Dr’s house and making sure the sisters were safe, but Dr Julia was nowhere to be found. We get to see that she was locked in the same basement where she imprisoned them and asking for help.
